Well, I will reply myself with a successful workaround:
Following this:
http://www.m0n0.ch/wall/installation_embedded.php
"gunzip -c net45xx-xxx.img | dd of=/dev/hdX bs=16k"
iwould let the Monowall boot:
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c
md0: truncating raw partition
/: bad dir ino 572 at offset 0: mangled entry
panic: ufs_dirbad: bad dir
syncing disks... 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
giving up on 1 buffers
Uptime: 15s
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
--> Press a key on the console to reboot,
--> or switch off the system now.
I tried to re-write the image to the CF with the same results.
Finally we mounted a smb device trough samba and finally we could write:
"gunzip -c net45xx-xxx.img | dd of=/dev/hdX bs=16k"
Our "probably-too-slow-CF workaround" was not to use wget to download the
image to the Soekris, but mount a unit (ex: smb or nfs) to write the
net45xx-xxx.img.
Best wishes
